Do like this: Paint the tray with 1-2 coats (the paint dries in about 1 hour). Bright colors may need more coats. Chalky Vintage-Look doesn’t require prep paint.

Depending on the size of the trey you may need to trim the stencils to fit the surface.

Place the stencil on the tray and add a contrast color with a foam pouncer. Hold the stencil still during painting, or secure it with masking tape or washi tape. Use a moderate amount of paint and try to apply the paint in the same direction. I followed the grain of the wood.

If you like you can add stencil patterns to the sides as well.

Allow to dry for 1-2 hours.

Apply wax with a brush if you want it xxx. The wax dries in 1 hour.

Min bricka är inte så stor men blir perfekt för att servera svalkande drycker i sommar. På Make & Create har vi träbrickor även i andra storlekar.
————My tray is quite small but is perfect for serving cool drinks in the summer. At Make & Create we have wooden trays in different sizes.

För den som vill att föremålen ska få en charmigt slitet utseende går det utmärkt att slipa ytan med finkorningt sandpapper efter målning. Jag valde inte att göra det med min bricka men om du vill se hur det kan se ut så har jag testat det med Martha Stewarts Vintage Decor kalkfärg när jag målade träljusstakar och en metallram.
————–For those of you who like a shabby chick finish, this paint works great to distress with fine-grade sandpaper after painting. I chose not to with my tray, but if you want to see how this technique works you can take a look at the candle holders and the metal frame that I painted with Martha Stewart Vintage Decor paint.
